Chapter 118

This will better consolidate their rule.

After Asuka finished speaking.

Akito stepped forward, intending to answer everyone's questions about Pakura and also to share his own story.

"Everyone, I'll get straight to the point."

Akito directly addressed the people and the ninjas of Amegakure, recounting how Sunagakure had betrayed Pakura.

The prisoners from Konoha and Sunagakure last night.

He was also tied up to the side, listening to the Akito's speech.

As Akito recounted his story, the crowd's gazes involuntarily fell upon Pakura's forehead Forehead Protector of missing-nin ninja.

At first, they couldn't believe it.

Then gradually accept it.

Finally, he became extremely angry.

Hatred for Pakura turned into sympathy.

If even the village hero can betray you, what is there left for such a ruler to be loyal to?!

The passionate shouts of the crowd rose and fell.

The prisoners from Sunagakure also looked on in disbelief.

Their beloved Lady Pakura... had actually been betrayed?

The prisoners from Konoha also looked at their Sunagakure allies with disbelief.

The evil of Sunagakure was beyond their imagination.

"Yes, I was betrayed, so I'm furious!"

Pakura stepped forward, her beautiful face contorting into a grimace.

"I hate the Sunagakure high command who betrayed me, I hate the Kazekage! I will definitely... take revenge!"

Then.

Reminded by Akito, Pakura continued.

"When I was about to die, it was Amakawa Akito who saved me. Now, I will serve him faithfully. Also... I have something to tell you all..."

Pakura took a deep breath.

"I, who possess the Scorch Release Kekkei Genkai, was previously defeated by Amakawa Akito, who had no bloodline. Yes, Akito Amakawa, like your Demigod Hanzo of the Salamander of the Amakawa Akito, is a bloodlineless individual!"

One stone stirs up a thousand waves.

The crowd erupted in uproar.

Fortunately, in Amegakure, the concept of bloodline is not so deeply ingrained.

All of this is because Hanzo of the Salamander was a bloodless individual.

Its only special feature is that it has been transplanted with Ibuse toxin, allowing it to stand at the pinnacle of mortals.

Therefore, most people can accept Pakura's statement.

If we switch to Konoha, Sunagakure, Iwagakure, Kumogakure, or Kirigakure...

Things could be completely different then.

The Akito's gaze swept over the shouting crowd.

In the corner, I saw a figure wearing an orange mask with a flame pattern.

"Um...?"

The Akito narrowed his eyes.

The next second, the figure vanished into thin air.

"It can't be wrong..."

Akito stared at the spot where the other person had disappeared, and murmured to himself.

"It's Obito Uchiha."

Somewhere in the Land of Rain.

A vortex appeared.

Obito Uchiha arrived at the cave.

The huge crack, like a window, allows one to see the rain outside.

This was the secret base when Yahiko and his two friends were still children.

It's also Xiao's... stronghold.

They tried to recruit Yahiko, Yahiko refused.

Yahiko dies, Nagato summons the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.

The weakened Nagato accepted his suggestion, Akatsuki Organization changed their robes into red cloud black robes.

Continuous change.

Many things have changed.

Deep inside the cave.

The slender Nagato looked at Obito.

Unlike in the original story, Nagato was not injured in the legs by Hanzō's explosion.

So you can still walk at this moment.

However, if he continues to use the Rinnegan's powerful techniques and summon the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, he will eventually be unable to stand.

"Amegakure... has returned to the hands of Hanzō and his gang."

Obito Uchiha turned around and looked at Nagato.

Konan stood beside Nagato.

For the past ten days or so, Nagato has been conserving his energy and slowly recovering his health.

At that moment, a glint of shrewdness flashed in his eyes, and his face no longer held its usual cheerfulness.

With an extremely somber expression, he nodded slightly, making up his mind to fulfill Yahiko's last wish.

--To become... a "god" in this world!

Nagato accepted Obito's proposal.

Invite Obito to join Akatsuki.

Then, he agreed to his plan to collect the Nine Tailed Beasts and complete the forbidden weapon.

Obito Uchiha didn't tell Nagato was...

Forbidden weapons do exist, but they are not what Nagato thought.

Instead... it's the Ten-Tails and its Ten-Tails Jinchuriki!

In order to complete the "Eye of the Moon" project.

Obito decides... to make good use of Nagato.

By repeatedly contacting Nagato and Konan under the guise of Madara Uchiha, he eventually convinced them that he was indeed "Madara".

"Has Amegakure been taken back...?" Konan murmured.

So, should we continue to make contact with Amegakure?

"That Amakawa Akito is quite strong; we could try inviting him to join Akatsuki."

Orochimaru wasn't the only one watching; White Zetsu was also lurking nearby.

After recording the video, they played it back for Obito to watch.

After Obito finished reading it.

He was somewhat astonished by the power of Amakawa Akito.

He then prepared to trace the source and thoroughly investigate what exactly happened to Amakawa Akito.

Currently, some of White Zetsu's clones have been dispatched to gather intelligence on the Amakawa Akito.

He was able to defeat Ryūka Uchiha, who possessed the Mangekyō Sharingan.

This is enough to demonstrate that Amakawa Akito's strength is at the Kage Level.

Although it may be extremely unbalanced in its subjects.

He doesn't know many Ninjutsu.

Just like Guy's father, Might Duy.

But that's precisely why muscular brutes are easy to control.

In addition, I have also gathered information on other people I need to recruit..."

Obito took out some documents.

There are many faces on it.

The missing-nin of Sunagakure... Sasori of the Red Sands.

He poisoned the Third Kazekage and turned him into Human Puppet, but no one knows the truth to this day.

In addition, Sasori of the Red Sands frequently caused trouble in the northern part of the Land of Wind, making life miserable for Sunagakure.

Then.

The missing-nin of Ryugakure... Kakuzu.

A ninja from the same era as Hashirama Senju, known as the Immortal Ninja.

It has five hearts.

Proficient in all five elemental Ninjutsu.

They are powerful, experienced, and have a long lifespan.

It can be considered another version of Hiruzen Sarutobi, and it is also the ultimate form of the five elemental Ninjutsu.

... and others, etc.

Being ambushed by Konoha and Sunagakure made Nagato realize the power of a great nation and the importance of organization.

"Konan, go and recruit Sasori of the Red Sands."

Nagato looked at Konan and assigned her a task.

"As for me... once I awaken Yahiko with the power of the Rinnegan, I will go and subdue Kakuzu."

Nagato resolved to use the power of the Rinnegan to turn Yahiko into Pain.

Next, they found the prototypes of the characters in Jiraiya's books: those five ninjas from different ninja villages.

Kill them, and you'll make Pain too.

"But, Nagato, your body..." Konan asked with a worried expression.

She was not at ease.

They also don't trust "Ban".

"It's alright... What needs to change more than my body is this world."

Nagato's gaze was firm, and Konan knew better than to say anything more.

The next course of action has been determined.

Nagato then looked at Obito Uchiha.

"Hmph... I'll just go recruit that kid Amakawa Akito. If he joins, Pakura will join too..."

Incidentally, it might also allow me to control Amegakure.
